THE UPND in Lusaka has appealed to former President Edgar Lungu to consider accepting President Hakainde Hichilema’s call for a reconciliation meeting.
Lusaka Youth Chairperson, Anderson Banda, says President Hichilema has shown the willingness to meet his predecessor, and it is therefore prudent that the dialogue process should come to fruition.
Mr Banda said when the two leaders meet, the political tension that has characterised the country would could be eased.
Mr Banda said the people of Zambia would be happy to see former President Lungu and President Hichilema ironing out their differences and being in the same place at the same time.
He said Zambia had only two surviving Presidents, with one being incumbent while the other former and that it was the two who could unite the country and enable the country’s development to flourish.
